 Denis Potvin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While he did not dominate the game as did the great Boston defenseman, Potvin became an immediate star, winning the Calder Memorial Trophy as rookie of the year, and upon Orr's decline and retirement, was widely acknowledged, along with Larry Robinson, to be the premier backliner in the game.
His best season offensively was 1979 during which he became the first defenseman besides Orr to score thirty goals and 100 points in a single season, marks which even today few defensemen have reached.
Potvin was awarded his third Norris trophy for the regular season, but when the Islanders failed to reach the Stanley Cup finals that year, during the off-season the Islanders decided to name the elite defensemen "Team Captain".
